I'm pretty new at this and I know this is a dumb question. Sorry in advance. Can you please describe how to vape discreetly without a big puff of vapor coming out? I've seen lots of people talking about it. Do you just hold it in? Take less in? Help a ignorant newbie out here :). Thank you. Learning a lot here.

it's similar to when you breathe in cold weather. the warm air from your body hits the cold air outside and becomes visible as it cools and condenses. the vapor from a PV or ecig is warmer than your body, so when you exhale, it will be visible for a few seconds as it cools and condenses. so the "stealth vape" is to simply hold the vape in a little longer in your lungs (5-10 seconds, depends on situation) to let the vapor match your body temp. some people do the double inhale, like Tinkiegrrl mentioned, this works too, i can only assume it mixes more air with the vape to help all the temperatures match up.

that's a really simplistic way of putting it, but it works great when you want to vape but not let out a big cloud.

Welcome to the world of vaping first off and congrats on making the switch. Like everyone has suggested, hold your vapor in for a little extra time and then exhale slowly. Also the "in the shirt" exhale works well. But if you have a higher PG juice then that helps even more. Don't feel bad about your new found life saving joy, but you are on the right path to not wanting to offend non believers. LOL....

Keep up with your choice and if you need anything, feel free to ask. We all love to help out new vaper's and we love to share our stories with everyone willing to listen.

Take a big long drag, remove PV from your mouth, put one end of a crazy straw in your mouth and the other in your nostril, pinch the open nostril and blow
Only one eye will water-and no one around will have their suspicions aroused.

Great 'pro-tip' that I got from GoodNews :p

LMAO!! This is so bad but I couldn't help but laugh!

Welcome OP and I doubt you will ask as many questions as I have. :oops: As said the only dumb ones are the ones not asked because there are wonderful people here with answers.

I just got off of many airlines and a cruise...best way is to just to hold it in. I think the only reason "vapor"/"smoke" comes off is because it is hotter than the air around it. Similar to when you exhale in a very cold Midwest environment. It's not smoke it's just that your lungs contain water vapor and it is so much hotter than than the cold environment that it appears like smoke. If you hold it in your lungs a bit longer it maintains the same temperature so no "vapor" really appears.

Either that or your lungs absorb all of it ;)
